Patient Forms
Upon entering our office our
receptionist will greet you and welcome you
as a member of our family. We will request you to fill out our patient
forms
located in the New Patient Center. The paperwork provides us with
general information about yourself and your condition.
Consultation
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. James Incledon to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for Dr. Incledon to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will you meet your goals.
Examination
After your consultation, Dr.
Incledon will perform a complete chiropractic
examination testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as
other standard neurologic, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations.
Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
EMG Scan
An EMG scan will be performed to
measure Motor Nerve Function.
X-Ray Studies
Your specific condition may require
us to take x-rays to
get a full evaluation of a patient. X-rays help us rule out
more serious conditions or assist us in developing the
most effective treatment plan for you. Most people are
amazed once they see their x-rays and can often immediately
identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Report of Findings
Once all the information and
examinations have been performed, Dr. Incledon
will give you a report of the findings, which will help to answer
the three most popular questions:
- Can you help me?
- What do you recommend that I do to get better?
- How much is it going to cost?
After discussing your history and
goals, examining your spine and also reviewing
any x-rays or tests, Dr. Incledon will discuss recommendations with you. If
you
have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will
tell you.
If Dr. Incledon believes he can help you, he will recommend treatment and a
wellness program.
Treatment
Patients will generally be provided
with their first treatment at
the conclusion of the appointment. This may include spinal
adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies.
Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any
concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will
be most comfortable with.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, patients will be
instructed on a wellness program to be conducted
at home. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may
include
ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or
positions,
as well as home exercises and/or stretches. If you desire an overall
wellness
lifestyle, our wellness team will work with you to create good habits and
routines
that support your success. Every body is unique and different and
therefore
everyone requires a unique and customized wellness plan. The
foundation of
our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining healthy posture and good
spinal
alignment, eating a healthy diet, taking supplements, keeping your weight
under control and stress relief.
